tarotgalSean Astin's supposed to be on Craig's show tonight. Yayness! :-)
Just saw an incredibly stupid news segment on NBC local news about Blockbuster's end of late fees deal. People were enraged that after a week their card would start to be charged for a sale and then they would own it after a month. One woman said "Oh, but they didn't tell me that part!" Another woman even said "Well, I guess we won't be renting from Blockbuster any more!" Oh, come on. Didn't you read all the literature they have all over the store that explains it? Or talk to someone who works there who'll explain it?
Listen. You get it for a week or two days (depending on the newness). Then you get it an extra week. Then you get it another THIRTY days. ANY time within that span you can return it and you pay NOTHING. COME ON STUPID PEOPLE! If you cannot return a movie after either 5 weeks or 6 weeks (and ignore the two phone calls and postcard you get notifying you about the specific movie you have out) you deserve to be charged for it! The altenative is to have it out for two days to a week and be charged after that. But, apparently, these people would rather still go to places where you get charged bigtime if you have it more than two days. WTF?!!!
Hmmm. Quandary: Have it out two days and then pay big fees or have it out five weeks and then pay big fees. Tough call! *rolls eyes*
People are stupid here. STUPID PEOPLE! I have half a mind to write to Blockbuster and apologize for the stupid people in my community now. I go there, like, 4 times a week now. *snuggles Blockbuster*
